Chapter 603 The Consultative House
Cai You thought for a while and said, "These are not what we should think of, please prepare for it. The people I prepared in Liao Kingdom and Li Xia should have a little effect."
A few years ago, Zhao Xu sent Cai You and Nan Tianyou to the north and built the original intelligence network.
Huo Xu raised his hand to respond, and said cautiously: "Then, commander, Hongzhou Prefecture and Bianjing, may be a little out of hand."
Cai You understood what he meant, looked up at Hongzhou Prefecture, and said, "Don't worry, then Li Yan can snatch the Nanhuangchengsi, but cannot snatch the Imperial City. Imperial City is still ours."
Huo Xu didn't know why Cai You was so confident and didn't dare to say more.
"At least one or two days, the court will know the news." Cai You looked at the direction of Bianjing City and said to himself with a leisurely expression.
Such a big thing is also extremely passive for the court. The government and the opposition will set off a new round of "opposing the new law", and the matter on Jiangnan West Road will definitely be subject to many constraints.
Huo Xu also started to think about it when he heard this.
The court certainly will not retreat, and will even implement it more vigorously.
However, if this continues, it will not help ease the conflict, and sooner or later it will cause a disaster.
At the same time, Chen Zhen and Su Song were moving south, and they were also speeding up their pace along the way.
At the bow of the boat, Su Song looked at the strange and familiar river channel and said, "Your Ministry of Works still did some things."
Chen Zhen stood in front of the wind and said with a smile: "What Mr. Su saw was just broadening the rivers and canals to facilitate traveling with each other. The four words "work-for-relief" are not simple. First, he digested the cut-out army and gathered refugees. Second, did Mr. Su know how many fertile fertile fields these rivers have been widened?"
Although Su Song didn't know the specific data, he could guess roughly, nodded and said, "You and Wang Cun have put in their efforts."
When Chen Zhen heard him mention Wang Cun, he looked at him with a calm expression and said, "Don't Su Gong know that the court allocated six million guan to the Ministry of Works last year. How many of them are really used to make it practical?"
Su Song leaned on crutches and didn't speak.
The "people are indifferent" in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty was the most common state. If the matters assigned to the local government could be delayed, they would be delayed, and if they could not be delayed, they would find ways to delay them. All of them would be resolved in the end.
And the money and food allocated were gone without a trace, and there was no one left.
As the two were talking, a doctor from the Ministry of Works came forward behind him, raised his hand, and said, "Mr., the rumors outside are getting more and more fierce now, and it is a little uncontrollable."
Su Song looked motionless, leaning on crutches and continued to look ahead.
"What did you say again?" Chen Xian said lightly.
Along the way, there were more and more rumors about Hongzhou Prefecture and Jiangnan West Road.
The doctor hesitated and said, "That's right, the court wants to avenge He Yi and slaughter Hongzhou Prefecture. All the gentry will be left without leaving any of them, and all the families will be confiscated and the clan will be exterminated."
Chen Zhen waved his hand and said, "Continue to stare."
"Yes." The doctor immediately stepped down.
Su Song looked at the river surface, sighed softly, and said, "No wonder the official family asked you to come to me."
Su Song was a little confused before, and wanted to ease the conflicts on Jiangnan West Road, but some people were people, so why must it be him?
Because the official had already expected that something serious would happen to Jiangnan West Road, and Su Song was the most important and spoke the most effective.
Chen Xian still held his hands behind his back and said, "What have you thought about to say?"
The rumors along the way were getting worse and worse. Jiangnan West Road and Hongzhou Prefecture were probably overwhelming. Zong Ze and others were in a very difficult situation. If they wanted to gain a foothold, they would have to spend more effort.
If an outsider wants to gain a foothold in the local area, it is not enough to have a court document, but the local government must agree.
At least, they cannot raise opposition in groups and the whole people are indignant.
Su Song held the crutch in both hands and said, "I still want to know, how far you will do?"
Chen Zhen smiled and said, "This question is, let alone the senior officials. Even if you ask the Grand Master, you may not be able to tell you. Although this reform has direction and goals, no one can explain exactly what step it will take. Su, you can understand that you are worried about the senior officials. But judging from what happened in Hongzhou Prefecture, reform is imperative."
The Song Dynasty court has been arguing about the issue of "reform or not" for decades. Su Shi was too lazy to argue with Chen Zhen, saying: "After I go, I will decide according to what you said, right and wrong, and the three courts will not decide, rather than the governor's yamen and the plenipotent minister."
Chen Xian looked at Su Song and said, "Don't worry, Xianggong Su. Of course, the Dali Temple must be judged and judged. The court and other courts cannot interfere. This is an iron rule set by the government."
Su Song was completely unbelievable about this, but with Chen Zhen's words, he could pinch his head and prevent Chen Zhen and others from escalating the situation at a critical moment.
Chen Xian looked at Su Song's side face, pondered for a moment, and said, "Good Master Su, do you have any idea of making a comeback?"
Su Song smiled calmly and said, "Why, Zhang Dun asked you to ask me?"
If Su Song returns, he will definitely be in the Political Affairs Hall, or even replace Zhang Dun!
The current turmoil in the court is changing. Too many people think that the position of Zhang Dun’s grand grandfather is crumbling and may overturn at any time.
After all, the rumors about the "Emperor's Disagreement" that were not long ago have been spreading.
"This sentence was asked on behalf of the officials." Chen Xian said.
Su Song's expression moved and turned to look at Chen Xun.
Chen Zhen smiled and said, "You are not afraid to deceive the officials."
Su Song frowned, let go, frowned again, and finally shook his head, saying, "The official family is determined to reform. Now the only ones who can help him are Zhang Dun, Cai Bian, Li Qingchen and others are not enough to take on the great responsibility. Even if the emperor is really incompatible, the official family will not change his appearance."
Chen Xian was stunned. He didn't expect Su Song to think of the word "change" and coughed lightly, looked back and saw that there was no one, so he relaxed and said with a smile: "Su Xianggong has thought a lot. That's right, the court plans to establish a consultative Yuan for the Political Affairs Hall to consult, discuss and review government affairs with the six ministries."
Su Song's solemn expression slowly relaxed, and he shook his head with a little laugh, saying, "I should have guessed that the government would not just let me go this trip. I am old and don't have much time to live, so I want to wait quietly for death."
Chen Zhen said: "The Advisory Yuan is not affiliated with the court. According to the government's ideas, the Grand Secretary and the heads of the six ministries must report to the Advisory Yuan on time every month. If the Advisory Yuan has a strong objection to certain matters, the Political Affairs Hall cannot be implemented. In some cases, officials at all levels can also be impeached and voted, and the officials will 'persuad' these people to return' according to the situation."
Su Song's brows tightened again and looked straight at Chen Xian.
Chen Zhen quickly raised his hand and said, "These are not fabrications or words of the officials. These are the words of the officials. The officials have seen them and heard from them.
Su Song leaned on a crutch and slowly turned his head, looking at the calm river surface not far ahead.
